It is not an easy climb to the funiculcar station. This costs 6 euro raound trip. At the top is a cafe set in the blazing August sun with no shade. Inside restaurant is a bit exclusive and overpriced. View from the top is so so, as Athens is not a very pretty city. All in all, the four of... more

Walked up Mt. Lycabettus this evening and found the walk to be relatively easy (it's Feb., so temperature was not a problem). There are lots of benches to rest at if you get tired and the views from each bench are different and wonderful. Enjoyed the church and spent about an hour at the top waiting for sunset and the... more

Mt. Lycabettus is definately something which can be missed. To go to the top you have to ride a funicular - - However, in the funicular there is no view to enjoy. The top of the mountain is nothing amazing, as well. You got similar, if not better views from other spots. more

We had read that a trip on the funicular to the top of Mount Lycabettus was a nice excursion but didn't get around to it on our first trip to Greece. Last month I made sure we'd have a couple of days in Athens before our flight home to do the things we hadn't managed last year. So we went... more
